To develop close and meaningful relationships there.

Explanation:

The study done by McKenna, Green and Gleason in 2002, demonstrated that preference for building personal relationships online versus offline was related to the perception of self.

People, who felt more comfortable with disclosing their true self online, tended to building more meaningful relationships online as well. Moreover, they often moved further to bringing such relationships offline, which have demonstrated stability after two years.
